1. A method for determining extremities of a user, the method comprising:

  • receiving a depth image;

    generating a grid of voxels based on the depth image;

    removing a background included in the grid of voxels to isolate one or more voxels associated with a human target; and

    determining a location or position of one or more extremities of the isolated human target by performing acts comprising;

    determining a candidate for the one or more extremities;

    generating a candidate cylinder based on the grid of voxels;

    calculating a score for the candidate based on the candidate cylinder;

    determining whether the score of the candidate exceeds an extremity threshold score; and

    assigning a value of a voxel in the grid associated with the candidate to the location or position of the one or more extremities when the score exceeds the extremity threshold score.
